Widget Fortress layout.

Sometimes in order to make life easier for themselves, the layout artists, the background artists, and the directors, the storyboard artists would illustrate an entire location so that everyone could get their visual bearings! If a lengthy action scene were to take place, as it does in the season one episode "Evil-Lyn's Plot" then staging the action could get confusing, especially as the action in this episode takes place both inside and outside the Widget Fortress. It is interesting to see that the artist planned for the mine entrance to work its way into the back of a large land mass. Slightly more creative than what we got in the actual series...
